Banned from my home,

now lost in the dark,

searching for a meaning,

my part in this damned life.


Running in circles,

as my mind spins,

faster, and faster, losing

my breath...and my stomach.


I can't get through.

I can't make it through.

How do I get rid of

this wall?


"I want to go home."

The only thought going

through my head,

as slowly, I go insane.


I punch the wall,

bloody my knuckles,

scream murder.

And promptly pass out.


I come to,

and the wall has vanished.

As I sit up,

I see light.


Wait, but,

I'm not dead...

No, that light is not

THE light.


I stand up

on weak legs,

and stumble to the light

like a newborn foal.


As I come closer,

I see a silhouette

of light.

It takes on a familiar shape.


I fall into a pair of arms,

the oh-so-familiar arms

of the one I love.

The one I cherish most.


I feel...different now.

Not so hopeless.

I realize now

That I've come back home.
